“As anticipated, the government’s plans for transparency regulations for the influence industry have lobbyists’ fingerprints all over them. The proposals lack both breadth and depth: they would reveal on only a tiny proportion of the industry, and then no meaningful information. The lobbying industry has triumphed here. This is what they want; a partial system of minimal disclosure.

”In other news today, Labour MP Chuka Umunna announced plans to encourage school children to reach their quota of 5-a-day by giving up their chicken tikka dinners – The policy is being named ‘The Umunna Tomata’ – it means no curries.”

For a start he’s black …… we don’t do black political party leaders in Britain. Besides, the Labour party isn’t that open minded……all applicants must be middle class and white – vulgar working class and dark candidates need not apply.

Secondly, he’s got 18 months experience as an MP …… 18 months job experience and you think he can lead a party ? !

And thirdly, he would represent zero improvement on Ed Milliband. The geezer is a walking talking incarnated version of the Guardian. Expect nothing more from him than muddled waffling fence-sitting bollox…….“we’re just like the Tories but so much nicer”. The unelected bishops in the House of Lords, and a handful of LibDem peers, are doing a better job of challenging the government than that useless herbert.
